Título: | Use of Mixed Self-Assembled Monolayers in a Study of the Effect of the Microenvironment on Immobilized Glucose Oxidase | Autor: | Guiomar, A. Jorge Guthrie, James T. Evans, Stephen D. |
Data: | 16-Fev-1999 | Editora: | American Chemical Society | Citação: | Langmuir. 15:4 (1999) 1198-1207 | Resumo: | Mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) composed of a medium length, reactive, n-organothiol (11-mercaptoundecanoic acid) and a short length, unreactive, hydrophobic n-alkylthiol (7-heptanethiol) chemisorbed onto evaporated gold surfaces, were used to study the effect of the microenvironment on the structure and activity of immobilized glucose oxidase (GOX). The mixed SAMs were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, contact angle measurements, and cyclic voltammetry. The derivatization of the SAMs for the covalent attachment and the immobilized enzyme were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Quantitative analysis of the amide I band of the infrared spectra of GOX immobilized onto surfaces at the two attainable extremes of the hydrophilicity range available to us indicated that the percentage of β sheet increased with increasing hydrophilicity of the microenvironment. The specific activity of GOX was higher when the enzyme was immobilized onto the hydrophobic microenvironment. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/10333 | ISSN: | 0743-7463 | DOI: | 10.1021/la980974t | Direitos: | openAccess |
